title: Mapping vegetarianism: A statistical analysis of the social and geographical factors underlying vegetarian diets in the North of the Netherlands
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This study concentrates on comprehending which are the most prominent factors on being vegetarian and on mapping the geographical distribution of vegetarians in the provinces of the North of the Netherlands. This research shows that social factors, such as the presence of a vegetarian partner or a vegetarian mother, are significantly correlated to vegetarianism. Personal factors, such as being a woman, highly educated, being on a same-sex partnership and having no child in the house are significantly highly correlated to being vegetarian. Likewise, some environmental factors are positively correlated to vegetarianism, such as living in highly urbanized areas. Finally, vegetarianism has a non-random distribution in space, tending to cluster on specific areas (especially in the vicinity of populous cities). There is evidence, however, of unmapped cultural factors that may be associated with vegetarianism that could be discussed in further research.
